Add dropbear ssh#

OpenEmbedded#

Search for dropbear recipe in openembedded Layer index

Check

openembedded-core is part of poky meta ? Yes I found dropbear under meta/recipes-core/dropbear

setup#

  • Add to local.conf
append to local.conf
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dropbear"

Note

  • IMAGE_INSTALL is the variable that controls what is included in any image.
  • CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL is a convenience variable that enable you to add extra packages to an image based on the core-image class

Create image#

# from build folder
bitbake core-image-minimal

Check#

# under build folder
ll tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/usr/sbin/dropbear

run image with qemu#

run image
runqemu tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/core-image-minimal-qemux86-64-<build number>.qemuboot.conf nographic
check dropbear is running
ps | grep drop

  293 root      4224 S    grep drop

ssh from host#

ssh root@192.168.7.2

check recipe location#

bitbake -e dropbear | grep ^FILE=
# Result

Add python3#

  • Search recipe

  • Show recipe more info

setup#

  • Add to local.conf
append to local.conf
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dropbear python3"

check recipe location#

bitbake -e python3 | grep ^FILE=
FILE="/home/user/yocto/poky/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python3_3.9.9.bb"
